Pretty much any things everyone needs to see go here, if you care at all.
The Great War was a dark time in human history, as millions of human lives were lost with little gained in return. Between 1912 and 1918 all of Europe was consuming by all out conflict over petty rivalries and bind nationalism. Once lush, grass filled plains were reduced to crater filled fields of dust piled with bodies and debris. The war lead to the collapse of empires and the formation of several new nations turned to the most radical of ideologies in an attempt to escape the shackles of monarchism that had driven the world to war. The war began in 1912 when the Russian allies of Serbia and Bulgaria attacked the Ottomans, dragging the League of the Three Emperors into war with the Triple Entente. The United States would mostly stay uninvolved in the conflict until the Confederation of Dixie attacked the southern border of the USA with support of the German Empire, creating the North American front. USA forces soon found themselves in a two front war against Russians in Canada and Dixie in the South. In Europe; French and British forces fought valiantly against the hordes of German, Russian and Austrian troops and managed to hold the line from Alsace all the way up to north Belgium. In the Middle East, the Ottomans faced both Russian and Serbian troops bearing down on them from the north, but managed to hold the line in Kurdistan and Bulgaria thanks too British and Egyptian reinforcements from the south.
The war tipped in the Allies' favor when Russia collapsed under the Bolsheviks, who nearly expanded into America if it had not been for USA and Provisional forces holding them back, resulting in a Taiwan-Like situation with the Russian Republic claiming Russia from Alaska. The War ended with an armistice on November 11th, 1918 and the Treaty of Versailles in 1920. The nation of Greece was absorbed by the Ottomans after the Ottoman-Greek war in 1921, and the Most of the Balkans remained in shambles and all blamed one another for starting the war, crushing the plan for a unified Slavic state. The Austrian-Hungarian Empire was split into several nations as well after the war, with multiple new nations forming. Germany soon found a new hope in the NSDAP, a group who took power under a man named Adolf Hitler. Italy also fell to the new ideology with Benito Mussolini, but most shocking to the Western allies was the fall of Spain to Fascism after the Government was overthrown by nationalist rebels. The strong feelings of anti-Communism in these newly changed nations led to the creation of the Quadripartite pact between Germany, Italy, Spain and Japan. The alliance of the UK, France, Portugal and Poland was made to counter this alliance. All out war nearly began in 1939 when German forces moved to the Polish border, but stood down after the USSR threatened war on Germany alongside the Western Allies. This would go on to be known as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Crisis.
Germany also made several overtures to the Russian Republic in exile promising them to retake their country from the Communists, and to Mexico as well who also held several gripes against the former Allied Powers. China is still in chaos on the Kuomintang, the Communists and the warlords still fight over the territory as Japanese forces invade. Refugees flee into British India as the conflict continues to drag on and on. The year is 1947, and the world is on the brink of a Second Great War, worse than the first; and every nation rapidly tries to build up their arsenals stronger than their opponents. War in inevitable, the only thing left unknown is who come out on top.
Rules
1. Standard NS Rules
2. No metagaming or godmodding (I highly doubt anyone who has the post quality required would do this, but still)
3. Posts must be at least 5-6 paragraphs long. Sounds like a lot but it really isn't. Pictures are a nice addition but not required.
4. No overly R-rated content in your posts if you understand what I'm saying.
5. Too prove you actually read the rules, make sure to put "777" at the top of your app.
6. You can make up your own nation as long as it fits with the canon and isn't hilariously unrealistic
7. Keep in mind that WW2 hasn't happened yet thus military technology is bound to only be around 1942-1943ish but you can research stuff overtime of course.
8. I understand there will be a world war going on in this RP, but do keep in mind that politics and social problems still do exist. Don't just fully focus on conquest and war.
